Jenny Lind Melon

Cucumis melo

Certified Organic

Grown on Our Farm

Well-suited to the Northeast.

The Jenny Lind is a small wonder (weighing in at a pound or two), with sweet, juicy succulence protected by ribbed, netted skin.

The seductive, meltingly delicious pink-hued green flesh of this melon deserves every bit of renown as its namesake, Johanna Maria Lind. Ms. Lind, a Swede, caused an unbridled sensation when P.T. Barnum toured her throughout the states in the mid-1800s. Her soprano voice thrilled countless audiences, though some critics found her style a bit cold. This melon can stand a slight chill, too: it is quite happy in cooler summers, providing a taste of sweet and sumptuous indulgence to northern gardens.

Growing instructions
Sow indoors under protection 2-3 weeks before last frost, or direct sow after last frost and when soil has warmed significantly. Provide fertile soil and plenty of space. As fruits mature, elevate using flat, porous stones or ceramic shards to avoid rotting fruit. Melons are ripe when they slip from the vine with a gentle tug; color will deepen and fruit will become aromatic.

    These seeds are PROLIFIC!!! The melon plant has taken over my garden and climbed every trellis and fence in sight, and even a nearby tree. I direct sowed after frost in zone 7a and have basically ignored it since then. I can see 14 melons growing right now! Super hardy and abundant and a joy to see grow!

    I look forward to planting this in my garden next year. It came pretty quickly and is a melon I had never heard of before.
